I appealed it to POPLA as the driver was collecting waste from a skip site there.
Today, to my surprise, the appeal was accepted by an assessor called Matthew Woodhouse, who said: "This decision relates to PCN: 1112601330 It is the operator’s responsibility to demonstrate to POPLA that they have issued the PCN correctly. I am allowing this appeal, with my reasoning outlined below: In this case, the appellant has challenged the operator’s authority to manage this site, and then advised in their comments that the operator hasn’t provided a contract or witness statement to rebut that appeal point. On reviewing the operator’s evidence pack, I concur with the appellant that the operator hasn’t provided a witness statement or contract to show that they are authorised to manage, and issue PCNs for, this site. As the operator hasn’t provided evidence to rebut the appellant’s appeal, I am allowing this appeal. I note the appellant has raised further grounds of appeal, however, as I am allowing this appeal I do not need to consider those further grounds."
Earlier in the day he had assessed my four PPM appeals, and he accepted all four. I also had a London Tribunal hearing today against a Hounslow PCN, which was also accepted. So, a good day all-round.
